Flipped (PG, 2010)

This is one the first movies that actually follows the book perfectly. Every scene is there, the actors portray the characters perfectly, and the overall theme of the movie is clearly stated. The language is very iffy for a PG. Jacks**t, god****t, hell, and as*h**e are all said by the characters. There is some thematic material such as talk about mental retardation and a man always thinking about his dead wife. Even though it maybe should have been PG-13, this is a fantastic coming of age story.

Very good movie, with good messages, and learning opportunities for kids. It is hard to pull off this kind of story and still be able to entertain today's kids, but they did it. I am still totally dismayed why this and other movies think they can't be complete without all the swearing. I understand why it must be in some movies for reality's sake, but it was totally unnecessary in this movie, and very inappropriate for anyone under age 13.

'Flipped' is a really good movie! There's a bit of colourful language here and there and since it's based in the sixties they refer to the disabled uncle as 'retarded', but that word wasn't rude back then. Overall, it has a good message. It says that just because you make a mistake doesn't mean you're a bad person. Also, to look at the person as a whole.

this movie is so good

Flipped, overall, is not a badly made film. The plot is easy to follow, and the characters played their parts quite well. The only thing that I was incredibly shocked about was the (frequent) language throughout the movie. I actually had to walk out of the movie once to go check that it was, in fact, PG. There are two times in the movie that mention the S word, by a 13 year old which i thought, was totally inappropriate, especially since it's in a PG movie. Also a girl calls her father the A word where he promptly slaps her which provokes her to say "go to ****" to him which is another thing that I thought was totally uncalled for. Both of these language instances did not make the film any better, and honestly i think they could've been taken out easily. There aren't many sensual parts in the movie. You can see a budding romance between the two main characters, and a sister invites two boys from another family up to see her room ("Come on, lemme show you my room."), but nothing happens.The dad is not a good role model at all, treating a whole family terribly because they have one mentally slow family member. However, when you overlook the wrong parts in the movie, it's a really positive message that it's sending kids. it shows that there are certain boundaries that should never be crossed, that it's important to stick up for what you believe, and that family is a very important thing. have fun at flipped!

i like the movie and all i just don't like that he said jack****

one of the best fillms i have seen in a long time although a little bit of cussing so not so opporpreate for younger kids.

too much swearing
